April 3, 2019
Milan, Italy
The Innovation World Cup® Series once again joined the IOTHINGS Milan, the biggest B2B Italian event in the areas of Internet of Things and blockchain. Let’s take an overview from leading industry players and ground-breaking IoT techpreneurs.
Milan is an amazing place for innovation. And that’s why the Innovation World Cup® Series has again come to #IoThingsMilan with our partners to boost the network between global tech giants and Italian techpreneurs.
April 3 was a great day! An insightful discussion with significant takeaways for tech start-ups who want to scale up. Additionally, after a competitive pitches session between 10 Italian IoT start-ups, we have found out the names of the Top 3 earning the exclusive entries to the 11th IoT/WT Innovation World Cup® Semifinals, and 2 for MEDICA!
Top 3 Italian IoT Innovators:
Genuino is a blockchain interface solution for smart manufacturing industries, that develops a decentralized certification protocol for data and sensors-based transactions to bring transparency, enhance security, improve traceability, increase efficiency and speed, reduce costs and strengthen the brand-consumer relationship.
Solar Fertigation System Srl is an integrated and automated system for crops fertilization and irrigation. We have implemented this system in an energy self-sufficient way thanks to an embedded PV system, aiming to recover unused land for food production.
Neodelis transformed the lights in a pervasive and intelligent connected network of sensors for saving more energy, monitoring building stability, pollution, gas presence and any monitoring/control system the customers need.
Best 2 for MEDICA
Avanix, OiX Care & PaciBreath OiX Care is the solution designed to improve management of patients affected by Alzheimer’s disease by family members, caregivers, nurses or doctors.
